�The
rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate
of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious
relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters
of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government.�
--Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953 *

Mr.
Eisenhower was stating that, which most Americans overlook when they consider
illegal immigration. Americans are, by nature, a compassionate lot. They
have demonstrated that fact time and time again by their outpouring of
generosity to the victims of natural disasters in the poorer countries
throughout the world. The political phonies who populate the congress,
and that chief political phony, George Bush, have exploited this propensity
to a sympathetic nature, and played American citizens like a fiddle when
it comes to proposals to stop illegal immigration.

Former
President Eisenhower very adroitly compartmentalized the real reason for
the wink, wink approach to illegal immigration by the politicians, the
corporate bigwigs, the industrial and agricultural complex, and business
groups, such as the National Chamber of Commerce. And that reason is simply
greed, a greed unrecognized by normally adjusted people who are not possessed
of money-grubbing psyches.

Of course
being politicians and exploiters the members of the aforementioned groups
are blessed with a guile and deceitfulness, which enables them to lie
with sincerity and to deviate from the truth with the convincing adeptness
of a sociopath. Their lies are cloaked with elaborate rhetoric and decorative
language. They talk of Ellis Island and of the taking in the tired and
the hungry of the world until it makes even the stronger of stomach retch.
When they have reached the limit with this compassionate verbalize, they
transition, with slick oiliness, into a series of well-worn perversions
of the truth. Foremost among these prevarications is the silly pronouncement
that illegals are a boon to the economy, and that their removal from the
country would cause great economic hardship.

The
only hardship that these reprobates are concerned with is that, which
would accrue to their material well-being should illegal immigrants be
removed from the scene. The corporate and business kingpins would have
to allocate some of their inordinate and obscene earnings for decent wages
and benefits for legitimate American workers, and the politicians would
be deprived of the money, from these same corporate and business kingpins,
which enables them to sustain a lifetime tenure in congress where they
can partake of the perks and favors bestowed upon them by the grateful
special interest groups who purchase their votes. As to their silly delusive
contention that to remove the illegals from the economy would cause economic
hardship for American citizens, consider the following:

The Number of illegal aliens currently in this country is, 20,556,000

The amount of money taken out of the American economy and transferred
to Mexico is, $24,279,150,000.

The cost to Americans taxpayers for social services to illegal immigrants
is, $397,478,602,693.

The number of offspring of illegal immigrants enrolled in public schools
K thru 12 is, 3,820,394

The cost to American taxpayers for the educating of the offspring
of illegal immigrants K thru 12 is, $14,761,164,588.

The number of illegal immigrants incarcerated for crimes that they
committed on American soil is, 321,271

The cost to American taxpayers for the incarceration of illegal immigrant
criminals is, $1,471,104,488.

The number of illegal immigrant fugitives from justice, most of whom
are in Mexico, which refuses to extradite even the most vile of killers
is, 630,218

In view
of these statistics it is most evident that the removal of illegal immigrants
from the nation would enhance the opportunity for employment for millions
more Americans, and it would relieve American taxpayers of the tremendous
burden, with which they are encumbered, of having to support twenty million
leaches of no economic value. The only losers in sight are the �for sale�
politicians, the money-grubbing vultures that get rich off of cheap labor,
and the Mexican government.

Don�t
tell me that it is impossible to deport illegal aliens, President Eisenhower
proved otherwise when in 1954 he initiated a program known as �Operation
Wetback�. In less than a year 80,000 illegal immigrants were deported
and an additional 500,000 fled the country and returned to Mexico in order
to escape apprehension and forced deportation.

It can
be done all right, and it is high time that we get to it.
